Re: Doubtless dumb question...
All paths give +1 to the research value of a mage.
In fact, mage all get as research value some base score (2 or 3 I think) plus the total number of magic ranks (holy doesn't count however).
You can check by yourself when you have a mage with a 10% random path, the base research is one more than for other mage of the same type without the random path.
A few mages get a bonus to their research value (sages for exemple), while other get a malus (Dai oni are very poor for research despite having a great magical power).
Also, note that experience levels also slightly increase research for any mage.
